Design and administer sales compensation plans in partnership with Sales, HR and Legal, as needed; calculate commissions and resolve disputes if arise. Lead system data quality initiatives; ensure systems reflect accurate pipeline, opportunity stage, and close-date discipline. Support deal desk activity for large or non-standard transactions — structuring, approvals, and bookings policy compliance. Business Partnership & Strategic Support Act as a trusted advisor to the BU GM and sales leadership — translating data into decisions and pushing back constructively when assumptions do not hold up. Partner cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, Development, Customer Success, and HR to align operational plans with BU financial targets. Represent the BU as subject-matter expert in company-wide FP&A and Sales Ops initiatives. Requirements 5–8 years of progressive experience in FP&A, Sales Finance, or Sales Operations, ideally within a SaaS or subscription-revenue business. SaaS fluency: Deep understanding of ARR, GRR, NRR, churn, CAC, LTV, pipeline coverage, and quota attainment — and how they connect. Financial modeling: You build clean, flexible, assumption-driven models and can defend every line. Advanced Excel required. Systems: Hands-on CRM (preferably HubSpot) and FP&A platforms (preferably Adaptive) required. Communication: Able to synthesize large datasets into crisp executive narratives and influence senior stakeholders without authority. Business judgment: You understand how go-to-market decisions ripple through the P&L — and vice versa. Self-direction: Highly organized and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and ambiguity is the norm. Education: Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field. MBA or CFA a plus, not required.
